Year after year, Africa’s leaders take the long journey to New York to speak at the United Nations General Assembly. And year after year, they repeat the same demand: Africa must have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The hall listens politely, the cameras click, and then nothing changes.

KeiyaA had been grinding in New York’s experimental jazz and hip-hop scenes for a good six years before her 2020 debut album, Forever, Ya Girl. Self-released on Bandcamp to make some cash while couchsurfing, the record totally shifted her life’s course. A low-key yet potent swirl of bedroom pop, R&B and electronic music that zeroed in on feelings of solitude and uncertainty, it struck a chord with critics at tastemaker sites such as Pitchfork and the Fader and became one of the year’s defining underground records.It also allowed her to tour the world; at the same time, the 33-year-old producer,…
